I believe that everyone has a classic old song in their heart, even the passage of time can not wear out those classics. Today, let's talk about Cherise, a landmark figure in the Chinese singing scene, whose innovations have shaped her own singing style.
During the 1980s, the duo of Liz Hsieh and Wang Jieshi was a household name. The two made many albums together, and their songs spread through the streets and accompanied many people in their youth.

Born in Chongqing with a naturally good voice, Liz Xie entered the Central Conservatory of Music at the age of 17, and after graduation worked as a singer in the film orchestra.
The orchestra was in dire need of a pair of duo singers, so they held an entrance examination, and Liz Xie was the examiner. She was very optimistic about Wang Jieshi, so she recommended him to the leadership as her partner, and the two began to sing as a duo.
The two men performed on stage for the first time in 1978, when they sang three songs in a multi-purpose hall in Daqing, including "Night in the Oilfield", "Jindalai toward Premier Zhou", and "Why are the flowers so red". Not only were they recognized by the audience, but even their colleagues in the troupe thought highly of the duet partner.
The two then sang many songs, and almost every show was packed, and the male-female duet of Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi became a complete hit.
After covering more songs, Cherise hoped to make a breakthrough in music and began releasing her own albums.
In 1981, at a time when people were paid only forty dollars per capita, Cherise's debut album, "When Will We Meet Again," sold five million boxes at a price of six and a half dollars, which shows just how hot the duo was at the time.

Shelice and Wang Jieshi worked so well together that many viewers thought they were a couple. In fact, Cherise was married and had children long before the combination.
At the age of 24, Cherise's mother passed away, and the incident hit her hard. In order to distract her, a friend introduced Lang Wenyao, who works at the Beijing Film Academy, to Cherise, and the two met each other, **** the same topic a lot, and after a year of dating, they walked into the marriage, and the two of them were pregnant with a daughter after marriage.
Lang Wenyao was working as a director in a coal mine troupe in China at the time. Shelis was busy all day long, so in order to take care of his wife and daughter, Lang Wenyao returned to his family and became a housewife.
Then Cherise devoted herself to her singing career and was separated from her husband, which led to conflicts and a cold war.
In 1997, Cherise felt that her mouth was crooked and she was a bit demented. After going to the hospital, she was told that she had multiple cerebral infarctions. When she learned of this, her husband, Lang Wenyao, quickly put down his work to accompany her, and in the end, Cherise relied on her own perseverance to overcome the disease and return to the stage.
When Cherise was 67 years old, her life took another turn for the worse when her daughter died of a terminal illness, a tragedy that brought her great pain. Cherise also suffered from depression and had suicidal thoughts, but her family's guidance allowed Cherise to slowly unravel her mind.

Throughout the years, Cherise has gone through many trials and tribulations, but she has persevered. In fact, no one's life can be smooth sailing, the precious thing is to persist. I believe that Cherise will have a deeper sense and understanding of life after all this.
Today, Cherise is 73 years old and goes to the gym and dances with her peers every day. Although now Cherise has aged, but in the hearts of fans Cherise still has the best memories, may the future life Cherise can be healthy and peaceful in old age.
